*Stardew Valley* is a game rich with diverse activities. From farming to mining and fishing, there's always something to do. One of the lesser-known but rewarding tasks is crafting your own provisions or preserves. Here's a detailed guide on how to make Spice Berry Jelly in *Stardew Valley*.
How To Get the Preserves Jar in Stardew Valley
The Preserves Jar is a crucial tool for creating Pickles, Caviar, Aged Roe, and Jelly. You can obtain it in two ways: as a reward for completing the Quality Crops Bundle in the Community Centre or by reaching farming level 4. Once you have the Preserves Jar, you can use it to make Jelly from either grown or foraged fruit. In the Summer, you can craft Spice Berry Jelly. Spice Berries are available in the Farm Cave during any season or can be grown in the Greenhouse using Summer Seeds.
To unlock the Preserves Jar through the Community Centre, you need to submit three out of the four "gold quality" crops: pumpkins, melons, corn, and parsnips. For each of your chosen crops, you'll need to provide five units. For example, you could submit 5 Corn, 5 Pumpkins, and 5 Parsnips, but they must all be of "gold quality."
Once you've unlocked the Preserves Jar, making Spice Berry Jelly becomes a simple task.

To create Spice Berry Jelly, follow these steps:
- Gather Spice Berries: Search for them during the Summer season or in the Farm Cave at any time. You can also use a Seed Maker to turn a Spice Berry into Summer Seeds for replanting.
- Build a Preserves Jar: Once unlocked, crafting a Preserves Jar requires 50 Wood, 40 Stone, and 8 Coal. Alternatively, completing the Quality Crops Bundle will reward you with one Preserves Jar.
- Creating the Jelly: Place the Spice Berry into the Preserves Jar. The process takes about two to three in-game days (or 54 hours) to complete. To optimize your time, start the process before engaging in other activities like sleeping or mining. You'll notice the Preserves Jar "pulsing" as the Jelly is being made.
- Collect Your Jelly: Once the process is complete, the Spice Berry Jelly icon will appear above the Preserves Jar, ready for collection. The Jelly can be consumed to restore energy or sold for 160 gold.
